Podcast episode 54 - Threads of Connection
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows loneliness and isolation is an issue for an increasing number of people.

Podcast episode 45 - Mind the Gap
It’s a good thing that as a society, we’re more open to discussing mental health and the challenges it poses for many people.

And despite all the attention, serious doubts remain about our approach to treating mental health. Episode 45 – Mind The Gap – is available on our website or your favourite podcast app.

We deal with threats – both real and perceived – all the time. In this episode of our podcast, Making a Difference, journalism students at Swinburne University look at how we are confronting some of those threats. From having the right to protest, to supporting the wellbeing of children, to some of life’s basics like driving a car, swimming at the beach and trying to find a job. And we end on an uplifting note with some bogan funk. What is that? Have a listen and get onboard.
Podcast episode 42 - Looking Out
Keeping people safe, helping people out, giving people a leg-up, giving people a chance to shine – it’s what a functioning society does. In this episode of Making a Difference, journalism students at Deakin University bring us stories about looking out for people: keeping apprentices safe on the job, helping those with addiction and incarceration, creating a new world for visually impaired children, supporting emerging musicians, and encouraging artists to live their fantasy through their idol.

Taking a hybrid approach to data centre cooling
Simon Brady, Product Manager, Liquid & High Density Cooling at Vertiv, outlines some of the challengers – and opportunities – of hybrid cooling. Today, sustainable and resilient data centre design hinges on effective cooling, but thermal management is undergoing a period of change. Traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, comprising air handlers, chillers, etc., are gradually maxing out on their ability to provide the cooling densities for next-generation compute.

For many people, food and the simple act of cooking can provide solace and comfort, particularly for those who go through the upheaval of migrating to another country. Cooking reminds them of home – not just the food but the people and places as well. In the final episode of our Long Read series, Nicole Alcantara from the University of Sydney spent an evening with two young men from Nepal.
Optimizing data center efficiency with direct-to-chip liquid cooling
As chip, server, and rack densities continue to escalate, the demand for more effective cooling solutions has become one of the top priorities when it comes to digital infrastructure. Over the last few years, liquid cooling methods have made a significant advancement in efficiently dissipating heat, especially for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

The Long Read series of our podcast, Making a Difference, continues with a reckoning from Australia’s past and the way it might influence our future.

March Podcast: On The Rocks
In the next episode of our Long Read series on Making a Difference, Tylah Tully from Curtin University reports on the site of two of Australia’s greatest riches. The Burrup peninsula in the north of Western Australia is home to more than one million rock carvings by First Nations people that date back tens-of-thousands of years.

Are they environmental warriors? Is it a hobby job? Or are they trying to earn precious money to make ends meet?

We’ve all been told there’s a ‘proper’ way to speak English. What if that wasn’t true? There are thousands of dialects of English that are ‘non-standard’ yet they still carry cultural and historic significance. In this month’s episode of our podcast, Making a Difference, University of Sydney student Nicola Brayan explores English dialects around the world and how language shapes identity, communities, and, too often, discrimination.
Credit Suisse: a failure of regulatory culture
It might not seem as though the sad demise of Credit Suisse has much to teach surveillance professionals. But look harder and it exposes many of the issues that have become apparent over the past half decade. The failure of Credit Suisse is peculiar because it has not involved the revelation of hidden losses or a ‘black hole’ in the bank’s accounts, but instead the erosion and finally collapse of its reputation in the eyes of its customers.
